While I use Access often, I'm not much of a programmer but can read most of

My question is I am trying to build a form which pulls information from two
different places:

ContactTable
GroupTable

All of the information from the ContactTable is found within the GroupTable.

Eh?

That would imply that you're storing the same data redundantly in two
different tables, and that the ContactTable should probably simply not exist!

Am I misinterpreting that sentence?

My objective is to have the user open the form and see the contact
information in a subform triggered from a vendor number, but not be able to
change that information while being able to create a new record from other
fields.

Again: create a new record from other fields sounds redundant, and *wrong*.

Also, if the vendor number has not been used before, or no contact
information is available unlock the subform so the user can enter address
information.

Wish I could explain this better.

It would certainly help if you did. What are the fields (or some relevant
fields) of the two tables? What (if anything) is the Primary Key of each
table? what (if any) is the Relationship between the two tables? What
real-life Entity (person, thing, event) does each table model?
